Mark 13 : 32

Greek places the conjunction δὲ second (postpositive); Syriac ܕܝܢ follows the same pattern; Latin autem appears third after the prepositional phrase, reflecting Latin stylistic preference for delaying conjunctions.

Greek uses the article + genitive noun + demonstrative (τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης); Syriac employs the emphatic state noun + demonstrative pronoun (ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ); Latin uses the bare noun + demonstrative (die illo). All three express 'that day' with equivalent definiteness through different grammatical strategies.

Greek ἤ ('or') is rendered by Syriac ܘܥܠ (literally 'and concerning'), which functions as a coordinating conjunction in this context; Latin vel is a direct semantic equivalent. The Syriac construction repeats the preposition ܥܠ for stylistic parallelism.

Greek repeats the article (τῆς ὥρας); Syriac uses the emphatic state noun + feminine demonstrative pronoun (ܫܥܬܐ ܗܝ); Latin uses the bare noun hora without article or demonstrative. The Syriac demonstrative provides definiteness parallel to the Greek article.

Greek places the negative pronoun before the verb (οὐδεὶς οἶδεν); Syriac uses the indefinite ܐܢܫ ('anyone') followed by the negative particle ܠܐ and verb (ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ), a standard Syriac negation pattern; Latin nemo scit mirrors the Greek order. All three express 'no one knows' with equivalent semantics.

Greek uses the negative conjunction + double article + noun + article + prepositional phrase (οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι οἱ ἐν οὐρανῷ); Syriac employs the compound negative ܐܦܠܐ + noun + genitive construct (ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ, 'angels of heaven'); Latin uses neque + noun + prepositional phrase (angeli in cælo). The Syriac construct state and Latin prepositional phrase both render the Greek attributive participial construction with functional equivalence.

Greek uses the negative conjunction + article + noun (οὐδὲ ὁ υἱὸς); Syriac uses the compound negative + emphatic state noun (ܘܠܐ ܒܪܐ); Latin uses neque + noun (Filius). The Syriac and Latin omit the article, which is absent in both languages' nominal systems, while maintaining equivalent definiteness through context.

Greek uses the exceptive construction εἰ μὴ + article + noun (εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ); Syriac employs ܐܠܐ ܐܢ + noun (ܐܒܐ), a standard Syriac exceptive idiom; Latin uses nisi + noun (Pater). All three express 'except the Father' with equivalent restrictive force, though the Syriac uses a two-particle construction (ܐܠܐ ܐܢ) where Greek and Latin use single particles.
